I think its a positive sign, especially since SEGA as of late have been more willing to listen to what fans want. Maybe ShenmueHD.com will be put to good use and the internet will be happy? I guess we shall see, soon enough.

[update] After doing some more research, I found that SEGA Europe registered the domain with a certain email and when I reversed searched that email it said SEGA registered THREE Shenmue related domains including ShemnueGame.com and ShenmueRemastered.com. More info here. These Shenmue domains are the only registered domains they did in 2016. [/update]

Is it just me or does it seem that though in one sense the appeal of remastering the Shenmue series is something to celebrate, in another, it would be quite sad as it will now mean that the Dreamcast biggest productions are no longer Dreamcast exclusives, and they’d just be a few less reasons for investing in and bringing out the Dreamcast today.

I used to think like that and it is nice that the Dreamcast is still alive and gets new games every year. I find booting it up a hassle. Connecting it to a CRT TV, all the wires. Not fun. So in that sense, it is good that people will be able to experience the most ambitious DC game without the hassle.

This could make people explore more DC games that are still exclusive to the system 😉

Sometimes they sell those in comic shops, I remember back in 2004 there was a specialty store that sold them and sold music based on video games and anime some model kits but they closed. Look around you may get lucky finding them.
